JoJo – Small Things [Video]
JoJo delivers the official video for “Small Things” from her latest album, “Good To Know“.
I’ve been trying to wait for the right moment to share this video with you. With everything going on in the world and in our own backyard, I didn’t want anyone to misconstrue its release as some kind of indication that I’ve moved on from the revolution at hand, here in America. I want to say it clear as day: Black people made me who I am. Not only my longest standing friendships, but also the record executives, mentors, teachers, romantic partners, and loyal fans who believed in me and took a chance on me – they have all shaped me. Without their support in every way, and without the artists who inspire me to make music, I would not exist. My support for Black lives/art/love/safety/freedom is not a phase nor does it have an expiration date. I’m honored to be a part of R&B culture and I never take my warm reception for granted. Here’s a piece of art that we made to express how painful it can be to hold in your feelings. To act like you’re okay, when- in all honesty- you’re not. I wanted to video to feel like catharsis. A special thank you to these beautiful artists/dancers for blessing this video with their incredible talents – Morgan Choice, Hamila Dodo, Dominique Battiste and Alexandra Carson. “The function of freedom is to try to free someone else.” – Toni Morrison Always grateful. Always yours, Jo.
